18639 posts in 4129 days Location: WW, commonly known as Water World, aka Western WA I'm a worn out electrician fiddling with wood. My first wood projects were whittling toys in my spare time as a kid. My spare time for whittling was usually waiting to change cows in the barn while my dad milked. When I was a senior in high school, I needed a project for ag shop. I decided to build a gun cabinet. I had never had any training in wood working except helping my dad on the farm. I invented what I didn't know how to do using plywood and lumber from the local lumber yard. I copied a design I saw in the Sears and Roebuck catalog. I have moved on to bigger and better things and methods ;-)) I have done a bit of cabinet work, stock making for modern and Kentucky rifles, box making, ect. One of these days, I think I'll get into turning, but time never seems to allow me to catch up on the pile that needs to be finished!! -- Bob in WW ~ "some old things are lovely, warm still with life ... of the forgotten men who made them." - D.H.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

G’day Topamaxsurvivor. Nice to know you had a look at my rings. The students at school range from 13-17 and are all keen to have a ring, bracelet or box made by me. Take care Mate, regards Hagrid
